Dixie is a constitutional republic with an elected bicameral Congress and a President elected every four years. The President is elected though an American type system of delegate type primary but using popular vote in the general election. The President can hold the office for up to two terms. The Congress is composed of 400, members in the House of Representatives and ten senators from each state totaling 100 members in the Senate. Senators are elected through a process where a vote for a Representative also goes toward the party list statewide and a percentage of the votes is then translated into Senate seats. Each state is given a bicameral legislature, but West Virgina and Virginia opt to have a unicameral legislature
